Hi @teb …. What a delicious breakfast you prepare for yourself. I love that idea as an alternative to my regime, especially on weekends. I love sautéed greens and used to do spinach, dandelion and Swiss chard combined, but due to the high oxolates in spinach I’ve stopped making it. I’ll look for collard greens today and prepare a bunch. I don’t like sauerkraut or sardines unfortunately, and I’ve been having a hard time finding canned salmon with bones … they all seem to be canned without bones now. Thanks for the other tips too … I’ll look into all of them. Snacking on edamame or putting them in salads is another great option. I have also started eating 5 prunes a day, as there are several studies which link it to stronger bones due to their anti-inflammatory properties.

oh yes to prunes and edamame!

One tip on collards...most ppl strip the leaves from the stems thinking it's similar to kale. It's really not! The stems are delicious, a little sweet and a nice balance to the slightly bitter leaves. Collards have one of the highest calcium contents of leafy greens and are generally considered low in oxalates so are a really good option!

If you have a Trader Joes nearby, their canned salmon is excellent. It is sockeye and has all of the bones so high in calcium.
